Guinsoo's Rageblade on Diana

Ingyhe··1 votes·5,640 views

Hello! Welcome to my 2nd Diana Build Guide. This is for Ye diana players who are struggling to play her since she is a rather difficult mid laner to play. I have a total of over 350k Mastery Points on Diana on all 5 of my accounts, I've messed around in sandbox enough to Know what to take and what not to take on her.

There are 3 Ways you can Build Diana:

Glass Cannon - I wouldn't Recommend This, Diana will get focused down Easily and Deleted in Seconds, before she can utilize her passive. Example: item 3027 item 3020 item 3100 item 3285 item 3135 item 3089

**Off-tank Diana - (Zhonyas, Banshees, Abyssals, etc.) Off-tank diana is actually still really bursty once you get over 35% CDR on her, I really recommend this build style on her if their team is squishy. Example: item 3027 item 3047 item 3157 item 3115 item 3135 item 3089 ** Attack Speed Diana - The Best way to build diana IMO right now. I'll get to that below. Example: item 3115 item 3006 item 3124 item 3151 item 3135 item 3089


What items are good on diana?

item 3135 item 3089 - These Items are a must for her last 2 items (until runes reforged come out) - but as for the next 6 months, you'd want to go with these.

item 3115 - This item is amazing on her, regardless what anyone says. Make sure you get this as your first build; this item has a 75% winrate in first 10 mins of the game. This item is also beneifical late game and will help diana get the dps she needs to survive.

item 3027 - Also a great build, she can scale really well will this item. Make sure you get this at the 9 minute point (13 minutes maximum) diana hits her power spike at around 20 minutes so you want roa fully charged by then.

item 3146 - Not a good item on her, don't build.

item 3152 - If you have room to build this item, do so. It's not the best, but it comes down to the situation you're in. if you feel this item would be good against the enemy team, go for it.

item 3285 - Never. We dianas dont like this item. it provides us with horrible stats so lay off :3

item 3165 - Hard to proc on her, never build this

item 3100 - this item is commonly built on diana but is a horrible item. You dont want to build this ever. It's a complete waste on her.

item 3020 - Good choice

item 3006 - only buy this item if you're buying Guinsoo's too. They work wonderfully together. Dont build this if the enemy have hard CC / Huge Burst


item 3124 - I want to make a whole section on this item alone because it is by far one of the best items on Diana. I just went on sandbox actually, and Put this build on: item 3124 item 3006 item 3115 item 3151 item 3135 item 3089. I then switched Guins and Bersekers with Zhonyas and MP Boots. The results were quite significant. In a 5 second fight, both Builds dealt the same damage. In a 10 second fight, Guinsoos dealt over 4000 damage (this is after all the MR is applied). With the Guinsoos build, Her passive dealt 750 Damage, and was able to proc it every 0.9 Seconds.

Why is this significant? - Diana Can't Escape once she goes in a teamfight. She'll have to stay in till the fight is over. The fact that Guinsoo's allows her To proc her passive every 2nd AA instead of Every third AA means that she has soo much more DPS. If Diana was assassin, I would Agree that MP boots would be the way to go. But the fact is, diana isn't a Go in > Burst > Jump out, king of Champion. She goes in and stays in, and unless you have flash up, You'll be useless in teamfights after you go in without the essential Attack Speed. But, when you utilize your passive and build Attack Speed, You're able to not only do a huge amount of burst, but you can proc your passive 7 - 8 Times after your cooldowns go up (making you deal 5k damage WHILST you're waiting for your cooldowns to come off)


(Next time The enemy Pick a Fiora top & a Yasuo mid laner, stop building roa and remember this. You're gonna be able to duel & outscale them a lot better!)

~Hope this helped c:

Keep in mind lisandrys is current health, so the dps against a 10k health dummy vs a 3k health champion is quite different

Liandrys was used in both Builds. Even without Liandrys, Diana's Rageblade build is still more useful in so many instances, and makes her viable top. Especially in 7.14 where they're giving her a 15%AP mana regen on passive proc, being able to proc that passive earlier is more important than ever.

Keep in mind though, that I said this build works greatest against tanks and skirmishers. If they have an akali or something, then yeah, off-tank diana works fine

sure you have a lot of dps but good luck ever procing the passive on rageblade with that build lol. you will die instantly and also have no burst.

This build isn't meant for new diana players, rather experienced ones.

Diana gets punished for making bad decisions. thus, regardless of her build, she wont die if she plays it smart

why is lichs bane a bad choice? she auto attacks and spell cast often, proc it after your e, q or r for burst. She builds mostly ap, to scale it higher.

Yeah, did not understand how Lich Bane is a bad choice either, can you please provide us with more information regarding this? I am also a Diana main. Sometimes i build Trinity Force on Diana duo to the Attack Speed and it is nice, but not on every build.

Will deffenitly try out Nashor + Guinsoo as 2nd items to see how it goes.
